This paper investigates the fresh and hardened properties of cement mortar using calcined eggshell powder (CESP) calcined at 600 °C and 800 °C. CESP was substituted for cement at 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. Flow table, setting time, dry bulk density, and compressive strength test were conducted according to ASTM standards. A total of 63 cube specimens (50 × 50 × 50 mm) were tested for compressive strength at 3, 7, and 28 days of curing. Results indicate a notable increase in CaO content for CESP at 600 °C and 800 °C compared to raw eggshell powder, with increments of 15% and 24%, respectively. Higher CESP content led to faster setting times, increased flowability, and reduced dry bulk density of the cement mortar. A 5% CESP substitution yielded compressive strength similar to the control, but higher percentages resulted in reduced strength. CESP calcined at 800 °C resulted in shorter final setting times, higher dry bulk density, and greater compressive strength compared to CESP calcined at 600 °C. A strong polynomial correlation was also observed between dry bulk density and compressive strength for the cement mortar with CESP. The study concludes that CESP is a viable cement substitute and suggests further research into hybrid materials to enhance these properties.

摘要

This paper investigates the fresh and hardened properties of cement mortar using calcined eggshell powder (CESP) calcined at 600 °C and 800 °C. CESP was substituted for cement at 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%. Flow table, setting time, dry bulk density, and compressive strength test were conducted according to ASTM standards. A total of 63 cube specimens (50 × 50 × 50 mm) were tested for compressive strength at 3, 7, and 28 days of curing. Results indicate a notable increase in CaO content for CESP at 600 °C and 800 °C compared to raw eggshell powder, with increments of 15% and 24%, respectively. Higher CESP content led to faster setting times, increased flowability, and reduced dry bulk density of the cement mortar. A 5% CESP substitution yielded compressive strength similar to the control, but higher percentages resulted in reduced strength. CESP calcined at 800 °C resulted in shorter final setting times, higher dry bulk density, and greater compressive strength compared to CESP calcined at 600 °C. A strong polynomial correlation was also observed between dry bulk density and compressive strength for the cement mortar with CESP. The study concludes that CESP is a viable cement substitute and suggests further research into hybrid materials to enhance these properties.
